NOTE: When cold-starting the
engine,
the
coolant
warning icon will illuminate and the
LOW TEMP display on the readout
screen will begin to flash. With the
engine in this temperature range, the
RPM "limit" of the engine will be
below drive system engagement
speed. As the engine warms, the
coolant temperature warning icon
will begin to flash, the TEMP display
will continue to flash, and the RPM
"limit" of the engine will increase
allowing the snowmobile to move
without full-throttle operation. When
the engine reaches proper operating
temperature, the coolant tempera-
ture warning icon and the LOW
TEMP display will go out.
CAUTION
It is extremely important that the
engine is properly warmed up before
subjecting the engine to high speed
operation or heavy loads. The engine
should be allowed to idle at least 3-4
minutes before it is operated at more
than 1/2 throttle. In extremely cold
conditions, the warm-up time will be
longer. Cold seizure and piston scuff-
ing caused by insufficient warm-up
will not be covered by warranty. Also,
do not idle the engine for excessively
long periods of time.

A. Coolant Temperature
Indicator
The indicator and LOW TEMP display
will cease to flash when the engine
reaches proper operating temperature.
If the coolant temperature rises too far
above proper operating temperature, the
temperature
indicator will flash a warning (alert) and
the engine will "surge" to alert the opera-
tor. If the coolant temperature rises to a
critical point above proper operating tem-
perature, the indicator will cease flashing
and will remain constantly illuminated.
on, the engine will shut off if vehicle
speed is reduced to 1.5 km-h (0.9
MPH) or slower.
If the indicator is illuminated, stop the
engine immediately and allow it to cool
down. If unable to either determine or
remedy the problem, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmo-
bile dealer for service. If not under
warranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile owner.
B. High Beam Indicator
The indicator is on whenever the high
beam mode is selected by the headlight
switch.
C. Oil Pressure Indicator
The indicator relates to engine oil pres-
sure, not the oil level; however, if the oil
level is low, it may affect oil pressure. If
oil pressure is lost, check the oil level
(see page 21).
If the indicator does not go out or if the
engine does not start, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmo-
bile dealer. If not under warranty, this
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
D. Low Fuel Indicator
The indicator illuminates whenever the
gas in the gas tank is low.
E. Coolant Temperature/

This bar display shows coolant tempera-
ture, battery voltage, and intake air tem-
perature. Press the Lower Left Button to
